How about if you're sitting on a mining node when it zeros out it triggers the removal of the level restriction on combat so you can be cleared off of the node.

They just need to increase dil vault amount.It is very low.I have 1.5m dil now.If someone raids me,I will have 25k dil left.

Why can we not add time with shields? If I need to respond to an emergency that will take longer than an hour, I shouldn’t have to burn the time I have left to add another hour. Or going to bed, I put up an 8hr but always drop shields before I’m able to get back on. I could put up an 8 and add two 1s which would be perfect.
Throwing away time and risking everything I own is becoming very counter productive.

another solution to fix the cancel warp requirement is switching locate with recall
well, that entry I gave you is quite old 😛
you want cancel warp coz of 'thick-finger-syndrome'
if they'd switch those two, it would be better, coz you easily select the locate button, and would require more precision/effort, hitting the recall button
@urban solstice so yes, suggested something like you said I think this week 😛

Bonus Refinery Suggestion: Permanent ability, but requires a catalyst for each use. Add catalysts to Loyalty chests (2 per 7 token chest/8 per 30 token chest) Additional catalyst can be given as part of events similar to how the bonus refinery is added currently.
The catalyst will allow players to use occasional extra refines on a specific material when trying to upgrade a ship or for a major base/research
Note: each catalyst would only allow 1 refine of 1 material, so player would have to choose which material was needed most, and also how much they were willing to mine for double/triple refines

Cool, now do the same for a 300k centurion vs 300k saladin

@quiet marten a similar tiered cent will take down a similar tiered sally, harrison excluded 😂

This is not the case
Oh, it’s harrison, just had a good look at im, explains the massive first attack damage...

Alliances can sign treaties and the rules would be appliednto all members in those alliances. OPL, not on mine, 0 node, mining, stations, etc. Also lvl gap. Rules couldnbe set for specific alliances and general.

@quiet marten yes like said, harrison excluded...
It's not the sally that is the issue here

Suggestion:
Located on the toolbar a ZZ is displayed when your ship is full on materials. It would be nice to see an indication when you’re at max protected limit. It would be a good feature since that’s when players tend to hit the most when the ship shows an unprotected amount. 🚀
dreamy glen
How about ships cannot be attacked unless the alliance declares war against another and to declare war costs a certain amount of resources which the alliance members had given to the alliance through membership
Also apart from the usual resources ore/gas and Crystal can be also donated to alliance contributions and the more war decs declared the higher the cost of the resources
dry raft
unfortunately, a pve-centric game is not something scopely will ever do, they rely on forced pvp to take advantage of the "keep up with the jones' and sell packs
just like they could add in more g3 nodes, but they wont because the limited access forced pvp, which drives sales
dreamy glen
Problem is now more packs or event wins people are getting more tokens means now less resources to raid for

Ive said it before an ill say it again would like to see multiple events running at the same time. Give ppl a choice in what events they want to participate in. That way not everyone is competing for the same event. An players r not stuck with a event they have no interest in for days

I would really like some preset bridge crew slots. Something where you can customize which captain and bridge officers you want, and then when you need to switch out crews, you can do it by choosing a preset one that you made. Currently, we have to sift through all of our available officers, which is time consuming and obnoxious.

We need to be able to get alliance store shop tickets for moving bases every 12 hours instead of 21 to far apart please?

Although boosting the battle log from 20 to 30 slots is appreciated, the problem is that farming hostiles fills the battle log anyway. I think the real solution is to separate pve battles from pvp battles into 2 logs, each in their own tab.

@fervent wind while not the original requester, there could be multiple reasons for the request, it doesn't mean anything about lifestyle choices

@vocal sandal Of course there can be a lot of reasons , but I can only reply to what the requestor has originally written : "[...] I will have it but don't get paid until 1 or 2 [...]"
vocal sandal
yeah but that doesn't say much, I also tend to purchase things after I get my salary, doesn't mean I can't afford them before
fervent wind
if you need to wait for the salary then you somehow cannot simply afford it or you wouldn't have to wait. at least for me this does not make any sense for objects in a [mobile] game...

nope, it's all about how I manage my money, I set myself limits to be able to increase my savings
so if I already spent that amount of money, I'll wait until after my salary before spending further on "entertainment"
nocturne lantern
I suppose this idea has come up before. So, we register our allies in the info area. There could be a textfield where the allies can be found. If the selection on both sides fits, the game could make these stations and ships colorable.
nocturne lantern
Add an area to the message window to be able to move coordinates. Or, man has 3 buoys at his disposal, which can be placed at desired coordinates. Their characteristics can be upgradeable. "External lists are available."
nocturne lantern
Idea:- map markers. Allow player to set markers/waypoints as future reminders.
Usage- mark bases to raid
velvet girder
I dont think you should be able to see any system unless your currently in it yourself via a ship or station, this would allow players more strategy in the game
Allow people better mission management and show where missions are waiting to be picked up

The free chests really don’t add any value at my level, what good is 5000 steel when all my base upgrades require 30 mil +. They should reward based on a progressive scale by ops level.
cobalt python
@cold kite how about to add a borg ship? The cube? And borg officers
cold kite
perhaps when the other quadrants open
currently only alpha and beta are available, later, delta and gamma are added
which should provide more space for new factions as well
and since the borg are part of the kelvin timeline
there is a high chance the borg will become one of the factions
borg officers would be useless, all borg have the same skills as they form a unity/collective, they share skills amongst each other
so it would probably become a highjacked cube or something like that
drifting hollow
I think we should petition Scopely to Lower the market from level 50 down to a reasonable level, I'm sure trading amongst your crew would be most helpful to everyone. Also maybe let us scrap the old obsolete ships for materials.

@drifting hollow all the level 50 stuff is just a placeholder for things that don't actually exist yet
and yes this suggestion came up like a gazillion times already 😃

Give a confirmation prompt for every even ops upgrade with a suggested ship power level - without one ship at X power you'll struggle to complete events and dailies. It'd save people that don't read here from rushing it and then getting stuck unable to do anything..

@undone viper that varies a lot, it's not just about ship power...
silver grotto
Use the event store to allow conversion of ship blue prints to upgraded ones. Something like 10 ECS Fortunate bps for 1 Envoy bp and the same with each other ship but to upgrade to next highest within same class.
@undone viper I tell people not to upgrade ops until they can defeat 10 hostiles 5 levels above with one ship before repairing. That shows they will be able to get max point ships with events when they do upgrade.

lone hearth
Can we correct the terrible attack ranges you have given higher level players, a level 24s base does not stand a chance against a level 34 700k Saladin even with all ships home, it’s causing a lot of players to quit bc they can’t remain shielded 24/7 and even when online. It just takes 1 hit they fill up their cargo hold and go on to the next.
harsh oxide
@lone hearth actually someone who attacks your base when you have ships at home has NO CHANCE of making a profit on that 1 hit. It costs a lot more to repair that ship than they can hold in their cargo.
They're just trying to crack you open so that if you're offline they can raid all your stuff.
vocal sandal
@lone hearth out of interest what 3 ships you had at home?
lone hearth
I’ll try to get some of my members to upload a screen shot but a 24 with a brand new kumari or no kumari does almost no damage and it’s about 64k rss on the one hit
lone hearth
Here is a 25 with fully upgraded base defense and ships at a good level for 25 @vocal sandal, @harsh oxide what would the repair cost on this hit with 64k rss mostly tri taken?
harsh oxide
@lone hearth if he got "mostly tri" that means your guy needs to do a better job keeping up his "par shield"
i'm suiciding my saladin now and will share exact repair cost/time with you to get an idea what it costs someone to repair
in general if you have enough par on hand then it will never ever be profitable for people to raid you through multiple ships docked
but if you leave naked tri/dil then they're absolutely going to pound your base until it's dry
Here you go. Mine is T9 so it's a little more expensive, but not a lot more. 225k tri 28k dil + 5.5 hours of speedups.
That guy lost 20% of his hull, roughly, so 45k tri 5.6k dil + 1.1 hours of speedups is what it cost him.
If you keep your Par Shield up, he'll lose RSS on that every time, because par is virtually worthless compared to Tri and Dil.
lone hearth
@harsh oxide thanks for getting the data
lone hearth
I’m still waiting on a screen shot from a level 24.
vocal sandal
@harsh oxide is that with primes? And actually repair costs are not linear as far as I noticed, it feels like you pay more when your ship has relatively small damage (but I never really tracked it)
Also, even if the rss costs are covered there's still the speedups, so eitherway it's hardly profitable
@lone hearth thanks

@Panic They offered me the D3 HiJacked ship but I just got the Salidin. Needed a Battleship and wanted a Hijacked Legionary but it was not offered. Why not offer all three options to buy the Hijacked Ships instead of just one? The weird thing is Corp knew I just shelled out for the Salidin and offered me the D3 Interceptors which was no longer a need.

Not for nothing, the PvP levels are horrendous now. I, as a level 24, have no real way of competing against players 4 to 5 levels higher. Most times I have no way of defending a mining spot in a 110K North Star when some level 29 rolls up in a 400K D3, nor do I have the ability to retaliate. It all then comes down to who spends the most money to level up the quickest, and that gets real old, real quick.....

I would like to submit a special request to scopely regarding a player on my server 18. His game name is JesseJames22 located here [S:1835140406 X:742.2715 Y:-19.32875]. Jesse is is 22 year old young man who has enjoyed this game and inspired many of us from his hospital bed while fighting cancer. Jesse has recently been moved to hospice care and is no longer able to play and by doctors estimates has only a couple weeks before he leaves this world. I would humbly request some form of remembrance on his behalf as this game has created bonds and inspiration to so many in this game. Playing this game has given him joy during his fight and in these final weeks until he could not do it anymore. Please help us remember him by doing something on his behalf. I suggest many options. Place a golden permanent shield around his base. Name a system or planet on his behalf. Create a special pack that will donate 100% proceeds to cancer research. I know scopely is in the business of making money, but this is a time when Scopely can show some support for its players who love the game even half ass much as Jesse has before he leaves us

just remember the quote from that Bayer CEO in regards to nexivar a few years back. 'Yes we have a cure against some forms of cancer, but it is only for those who can afford it' , charging €12.500 / treatment

@austere sand, How about adjusting the Shipyard to partially function like the Market? Allow players to trade 1* parts and Blueprints for 2* parts and Frequency Modulators, and to take over the task of tiering up a ship? That way the Shipyard still has some use while not building ships; opens a Drydock while a ship is tiering up, and allows us to do something with the insane amount of useless 1* parts and Blueprints we accumulate. Suggestion made by myself and player Aellywynn from server 26.

As you may know there’s one issue that hasn’t been solved until today, the amount of mining nodes doesn’t even cover 40% of the players in the server , an increase of 3* nodes must be implemented .

How about adjusting pvp balance for EVERYBODY. 3 above and 3 below for everybody as in ALL levels.

I'm currently lvl25. I cannot attack lvl20. Only lvl21 and above. But why the hell can a lvl33 attack me?? We all know that ships power grow exponentially with lvl. So <@&509691205798592532> why is the attack range smaller for me (only 4 lvl below, why not, perhaps it's better, more fair) but larger for a lvl33 (he can attack approx 10 lvl below him) ?
graceful plume
<@&509691205798592532> How about stopping the harassment caused by the unbalance of your pvp. Make it 3 levels above and below for all levels.
I guess since the upper levels have spent more money you only care for their opinion?
@native sigil , I been asking the same question to deaf ears for quite a while. Truth is the devs play too and they need easy targets because they pocket the money we spend instead of paying for upgrades they take our rss’s after we buy packs.
muted mortar
The harrassment is huge. Lvl 32 players can crack lvl 24 players bases in one hit with a survey ship and fly away with virtually their entire inventory of materials and never have to worry about that 10 minute shield becuase they already got everything. It should not be possible for ANY survey ship to one shot ANY base. If you're not going to make pvp levels fair, then at least quadruple the power of base defenses so that survey ships can't just saunter in. And while i'm on that note, how is it that destroyed defenses can still do damage? That needs to be fixed too.
A destroyed ship can't fight, neither should a destroyed defense platform.
vocal sandal
@muted mortar defense platforms auto repair, that's how
Also, at 28 my horizon can hit those lvl 24 bases just the same, actually I could have also done it at 26
weary badger
I think the issue is that the initial attack will loot everything, making a shield pointless ... shields meant to protect rss for a short time ... its not protecting shit
nocturne lantern
Aye first attack should not result in loot even if it completely breaks defences
That's the simplest way to fix the imbalance and give lower lvl players a fighting chance to protect their rss.
vocal sandal
And will also break one of the game mechanics
There's no reason a 24 shouldn't either shield or keep a ship in base to prevent just that
nocturne lantern
@vocal sandal a 24 has just 3 ships at their disposal, a 33 has 4 and can crack and empty him in one hit with a semi-decent faction miner....he only needs a 5sec window between shields to do this and the 24 can't do squat about it
vocal sandal
That would still be 2 attacks wouldn't it? Or are you saying a faction miner will take all 3 ships in one go?
nocturne lantern
Most 24's have 2 envoys out mining all day just to keep up with refinery, so by your logic they should just give up being able to use a third ship
vocal sandal
And no by my logic they should shield when they use that 3d ship 😀
nocturne lantern
So no pvp for them then
vocal sandal
I hardly ever used more than one ship for mining tbh except for mining event
Well they have to choose... either use all 3 ships and be open for being one-shotted or keep one ship in base or shield
1M RSS taken shouldn't be a big deal for a 24
nocturne lantern
At 32 I can punch down to 23...those poor sods only have kehra and vahklas...weak ones too probably...I'm pretty sure my 230k antares could oneshot them even with a dock warmer
vocal sandal
They should easily be able to shake it off other bases or get it back by completing one of the daily events etc.
As a 26 I could one-shot 19 with all ships in with my horizon, now you can't do that anymore
nocturne lantern
Hell I could tool around in antares oneshotting 23's until it was full
vocal sandal
24 should he strong enough to defend, I'd say 23 as well if they build up their vakhlas, most of them don't
And again losing 1M rss shouldn't be the end of the world for them
nocturne lantern
Removing loot from first hit adds an element of strategy to raiding instead of just rocking up on low lvl's and taking whatever your crack hit gives
vocal sandal
@nocturne lantern and remove the same element of strategy from the defender side 😉

The odd part is that a lvl33 with a 700k sally can hit bases many many lvls below. But not a poor lvl25 😪
Beeing able to one - shoot a base with a faction miner or a T6/7 horizon is the other really weird thing in this game
pulsar jay
The attack or hit chart should be 3 lvls up and 3 lvls down. I just got to 22 and I'm being waxed by lvl 30 players. But I can only hit as low as 20??? Not fair!

@native sigil a lvl 28 can also have a 700K sally

Well... I've never seen a lvl28 with a sally over 400k 😅 too expensive in ress and materials at this lvl. Theoreticaly it's possible but still....

muted mortar
@vocal sandal the platforms dont repair that fast, it takes days. and ships are useless unless fully repaired, the same should be true of defense platforms. Your discussions have illustrated my point perfectly though, NO survey ship should be able to one shot a base regardless of what ships if any are home. It's simply ridiculous to suggest that players keep one ship home at all times, that effectively removes 33% of our useable ships for playability, or 100% of our playable ships if we have 2 miners out, which we almost always must. On top of that, if we are to do any raiding ourselves as you suggest, we need all 3 of those ships active to conduct those raids which again leaves our base open to getting one shotted while those ships are out raiding. It's happened a LOT. Some players look specifially for players that go out raiding so they can ride in and steal everything the player just stole, only in a much more efficient manner because they have that all powerful horizon or antares etc to one shot the base with while their ships are out.
frozen halo
Please include 1 hour peace shield available in the alliance store.

@muted mortar it takes days yes which is why you only need one hit even with a miner to take it out where as when fully repaired you need a strong ship to get in

How about an indicator on the ship mining display that shows if you’re over the protected limit?
sonic arrow
Univ.... I have needed two for awhile...no one has had any leads
normal lintel
Consider the case of the NS. It is a wildly efficient 3* miner which would normally make it incredibly useful, except that it has a very small cargo capacity and consequently almost NO protected cargo. The result is that the ship is next to useless. Now, many have observed that the ship itself it twice the size of an envoy yet has roughly 1/10 the cargo capacity. How does that make any sense? It would make sense if all of that extra space was making the Northstar have increased protected limits, like an armored car. It has a much smaller hold, but the protected limit is increased. It could start out at like 10% at tier 1 and max out at 100% at tier 9. This would give people incentives to max out their Northstars (an expensive proposition) which would likely result in increased revenue for Scopely. Everyone wins!

How about better alliance management tools and some in game trading for parts/bps/resources? Been playing since last year and quite honestly, what’s next? Why should I stay. At least an alliance trading option would add a new element to the game

@simple wyvern that is one of many things being worked on. But no solid timeline

Thanks @frosty agate The game is simply boring at higher levels. Waiting weeks for enough uncommon/rare to do a single upgrade with not a lot of other things to do. Maybe it’s me.

Could we have different interfaces? Klingon, federation and romulan ones, similar like in that Micropose game ST: Birth of the Federation?
And thinking of it, another suggestion, make purchases be more cosmetical and less resource based...

Please Scopely, remove the timers from the refinery ...
lean marten
Only show unprotected RSS on base scans would be amazing. Also trading unwanted BP's for ships to ship parts would be very welcome
nocturne lantern
We really should keep in mind the true intention behind the timers, and current game framework. They're intended to promote PVP, therefore emotional responses, and those "bad-for-player but good-for-gamemaker" purchase decisions that follow. Suggestions that preserve or improve this are ones that will likely be of key interest.
So a slight twist, if we want no refinery timer, then perhaps each subsequent refine should increase algorithmically in cost --- refine fast, it'll cost you. Refine slow, keeps costs low.
Just a thought.
....and for the gamemaker... Refinery Resource Relief Packs that become offered only at certain higher refine cost levels.

app specific url. to coords in game. if scopely could register the handler and handle it we could make links from discord etc go directly to coords in game

I have the most fitting suggestion for this game ever!
I honor of Scopely greed, add the Ferengi as a playable race! They can be the ba’s of the entire galaxy!
tall sedge
who is to say the ferengi aren't being planned? they will invade your refinery steal it's output and all you need to do is pay then in gold pressed latinum to go away... such an event would end with rewards useless to ferengi, officer shards or the like
dry raft
Suggestion: the daily rewards packs need to have a high tri/ low par option. I would buy them but atm I have no need of millions of parsteel and do need tritanium. Simply an option when cashing them out each day to pick high par or high tri would be great.
slim cobalt
They should add a limited time mines that contain raw latinum that you can mine and refine to become useable I really think this would be a good way to get latinum and work for it

Idea- bounty hunter event. Every player gets a randomly spawning target, only they can see (based off players ops level), and they have to hunt it down and blow it up.
nocturne lantern
@nocturne lantern I would imagine the BH would be just ever so slightly stronger than what all of your ships combined can kill -- similar to a yellow where the hull damage is not sustained -- as if to tease that the ship pack is needed.
If one wants to reduce to likelihood of being raided, simply create some cost to scan bases.... i.e. x dilithium consumed per scan -- cost goes up depending on how far above and below your level the target is.
honest nymph
You should definitely freeze Alliances during events like the current one. we just saw members of the big alliances on our server leaving the ally and then raiding themselves and back to get points and win the event.
If two of the biggest players do this for hiurs no other ally, especially smaller ones, don't have any chance to win anything as smaller players don't have that amount of ressources by any chsncr

The thing with leaving to be raided, is the cooldown for rejoining, and there are 3 alliance events a day. They could sacrifice for one event, but for the next one it wouldn’t work. @honest nymph

The pvp lvl engagement is garbage. I have never gotten a break. I am starting to get angry. I am lvl 22. I cannot touch below lvl 20. Yet a lvl 30 with a ship 5 times more powerful then me can rip me apart. When I was lvl 18 I could get smashed by lvl 22. This new engagement for pvp lvls needs to stop.

Frequency Modulators should be easier to get. IF you can do all the dailies, (which is near impossible without a viable Franklin), it would take about a month to upgrade one gun on the Franklin. Its the chicken or the egg, both suck.

Could there be a way to trade or exchange BP’s for say ship parts of the same class? Or to sell the ship for Latinum/ship xp/RSS and or materials?

hmmph…there could, but Scopely won't implement it any quicker than they'd implement a way to exchange rss/mats between members of an alliance

I'd also be happy to exchange units of whatever for a Token at 1.1:1 ratio in 10^x multiples

I dont know if the dev's ever read this, but i dont know where else to post this comment/complaint/ request.
There are no where near enough 3* ore nodes in romulan space or neutral space. I have not been able to get a 3* ore node for the over a week! Several nodes in romulan space have disappeared in the past few months, making the ones left harder (impossible) for smaller, less powerful players to get. They are routinely taken and mined for 24 hours or more by lvl 26 and up players. If my mining daily's (which are the best, fastest way to get romulan rep) were not restricted to ore only, i wouldn't mind so much. There are areas in romulan space i can't get to that (i have been told) have more 3* ore. They do no f-ing good to players if you cant get to them. Being a ftp player, i am already penalized because i dont spend and scopley's free boxes are pathetic. I cannot level my ships to get to those locations to get the 3* ore, so i (and many others) are not allowed the chance to get our daily's completed. So, we are also penalize by not getting reasonable amounts of romulan rep. Im sure others will read this and tell me whay im doing wrong, or that i just need to stop whining.
To those people: frack off!
My opinion is as valid as everyone's else's! I dont this that there will be any changes or and help or relief for this problem so i will try to resign myself to being screwed over not only by the bigger players but by scopley as well. Of course, that is already happening, so there you go. 'Nuff said

most needed fixes and additions list:
- warp cancel!!!!!!!! been promissed for at least a year now..
- allied reinforcement. ability to park freindly ships in ally base for defense.
- ability to force teleport a dead base out of its spot. (as the base raid gets to protected rss it will teleport the base to a random lvl 1 system)
4.current broken ships to be fixed BEFORE introducing new ones. - augment ships in augment store - its been promissed in the ships tooltips for god sake..
- 10m 4h 24h chest content should be level specific.
- pve bases for alliance pve activity.
desired addons:
- mark 2 ship upgrades. (refit stage)
ability to go beyound t9 on older ships. once you get a ship to t9 you can upgrade the ship to mark 2 (refit ) and start back at t1
but 20% more powerfull then the older t1 stage. ( each stage is 20% more powerfull then mark 1 equivalent ).
cargo space better and warp speed faster and ferther also by 20% per each tier. - g3 and g4 rss can be aquired from killing npc ships.
- npc crates should contain lvl specific loot. so lvl 15 player may get serveyer part 2* but lvl 28 player will get 3*.. etc
- alliance traid network. players in alliance can traid everything from rss, materials, ship parts etc berween them.
- ability to switch faction alligances better.

I have a general idea: what about automation tokens? There is a loooot what to automate
Eg: respawn at the mine. Return after depleted mine. Harvest of resources at the base. Everything for some token
burnt rapids
I’ve been playing for about 6 months now, I am up to lvl24, and I have four functionality suggestions that I think would go a long way to improving player experience. Nothing here to dramatically change the game structure or the balance of power. Just some usability improvements that I think could provide high bang for the buck. I realize that enhancements aren’t free and you have a long list of suggestions already so I have tried to provide some details around the potential implementation as well as some business justification thoughts for Scopely. So, in ranked order, my suggestions are:
- Hold Position
Description: A new option for each ship (perhaps under the manage/locate/recall menu) whereby you can order a ship to hold position or release the ship again if held already. A little lock icon by the ship picture (much like the max cargo icon as pictured below) or some other visual indicator (maybe a red ring around the ship image so as not to conflict with the cargo icon system?) which would show the player which ships are holding. Any attempt to move/warp/recall said ship would give a dialogue with a warning message that ship is under orders to hold position and the option to override. If this solution is overly complex it would be sufficient just to give an error message that the ship is ordered not to move. The player would have to unlock it and then repeat the move order.
Business Case: This would prevent players from spending 30 minutes getting a choice mining spot, only to then to shift focus to other ships and accidentally send the critical miner off on some wild goose chase to the other end of the galaxy! I have been burned by this too many times and it is maddening. More importantly, I can attest that it makes me disinvest in the game. I feel like I just wasted time with this game and should stop and go spend my time elsewhere. With this option I could have prevented that from happening or, if I forget to order a hold on a critical position, at least that would be my own fault rather than disinvesting from the game which “let that happen”.
- Over Protected Cargo indicator
Description: Like the max cargo icon pictured above, there should be an over protected cargo icon as well. Something to provide a visual indicator to the player which, if any, of their ships are over their protected cargo limit (or Over Cargo). This indication would only be visible to the player. Other players would have no way to identify such ships without scanning each of them as they do today. A push notification for this state change should also be considered, again, as is currently done with the max cargo state change. Alternatively, a more informative but more involved option could be to include some kind of count down until the ship goes over cargo. The timer and blue count down ring in the ship portrait today shows how long until the node being mined emptied. Something similar to show how long until the ship goes OC would be even more valuable than just indicating that the ship did go over.
Business Case: By giving an at-a-glance indicator to the player about over cargo protected limits, bureaucratic micro-management is taken from of their responsibility. The user mining accords has made the protected cargo limits critical indicators for players to avoid getting hit and players should be freed to focus on gameplay rather than ship stats management. By which I mean that today players have to remember what the protected limit is on each miner ship given its current crew assignments and then select that ship to see if the total cargo (as opposed to the new cargo number shown at the bottom of the screen) exceeds that number. If the player does not know the OC limit on their ship, they have to leave the node in order to get into the management screen, switch tabs to Details, and scroll down until they find the Protected Cargo statistic. In short this would mean, less player frustration and burn-out that they “can’t win” at this game and “can’t mine because I keep getting blown up”. These kinds of complains are commonly expressed and the sentiment could be reduced by giving them this tool to better manage that.
- Crew Definitions
Description: A new UI (perhaps under the Assign Officers screen shown here) that would allow a player to define crews. Crews would be short cuts for assigning officers to ships. Players could create, edit, or delete crew definitions from this screen. Crew definitions would be made up like a virtual ship with all officer slots unlocked. Players would choose from their own personal full roster of officers and assign into positions onto this virtual ship. Assignments would be independent of other crew definitions and current officer ship assignments. Players could name the crews as they saw fit (reasonable character limits and limits to the count of crew definitions as required). Later, when modifying a ship’s officer assignments at dry dock, there would be a new drop down to apply one of these Crew definitions to the ship. The ship’s current officer assignments would be cleared and the new assignments would be made according to the Crew definition. Officers that were unavailable because they were assigned to other deployed ships would leave blank spaces in the officer deployment slots. As occurs today, officers assigned to other ships at drydock would be transferred over after the same confirmation message (see below screenshot). Officers could be assigned to locked positions on the ship but would be grayed out, exactly as they do when assigned via a ship change rather than via the Assign Officers screen.
Business Case: The savvy player is constantly adjusting the officer assignments to individual ships before they leave the station on some new task. This would standardize and streamline that process. Preferred loadouts could be discussed, defined, and quickly applied without having to sift through long roster lists in one-at-a-time assignments. The result is more than just improved usability. Players would be more willing to experiment with different officer assignments and more incented to invest in promoting those additional officers. An increased attention and focus on Officers would directly relate to an increased user spend in this area.
1/2
2/2
- Scan Your Station
Description: When you select your own station there is a button for Enter Station but the Scan button is missing. This button should be made available for scanning your own station and seeing how much resources are available for reward. Players know how much resources they have but it is almost impossible to know how much is protected and what others see when they scan the station. This, in turn, means they cannot evaluate how tempting of a target they present and if they should spend resources and/or use a peace shield.
Business Case: I know that my station has repeatedly been attacked and the attacker rewarded with far more resources then I would have thought available from my station. If people are able to see their own station in a way that can be easily compared to other comparable stations I believe there would be a direct increase in player spend in order to use up or protect those resources.
Thanks for your time and consideration

Invent transporters and shuttles so we can change personnel when 2 ships are in the same system.
plain roost
Well done! That's a serious piece of feedback ....
nocturne lantern
Sadly most of what he is asking serves no purpose. When a player scans your station he sees everything you have not just your unprotected. The over protected icon is unnecessary because you can easily see what your protected limits are. And as for the hold button if they implement the reverse course button they have been promising us the hold button would not be necessary. The officer set up for different purposes I think is a good idea.

@austere sand can we get power destroyed working for when your base gets attacked. Just had an alliance attack my base and lose nearly 100 ships (mostly high level faction ships 😂).

@cold kite invest in a "bright" future, where devs have fixed every bug, and no repeat events with lousy rewards, along with every level unlocked, and nothing missing from the game, and packs don't cost as much
unkempt pilot
Suggestion: the Ultra-packages for 109,99€ should include enough uncommon and rare material to provide at least 1 upgrade, either ship or station. Shipyard Lvl. 30 requires 390 uncommon crystal but even in the Ultra-packages there is only 136. So it needs 3 Ultra-packages for 330,-€ to build just that. Same with Ultra-ship packages: Saladin weapon on Lvl 20 requires 425 uncommon crystal, Ultra-ship package provides only 207.

It should be possible to change blueprints into material or give them to alliance members.

@fluid hemlock Content Creators are not involved with the design of the game., we're sources of information on the game, independent of Scopely... I think that you want to suggest here and the <@&509691205798592532> will pass your comments onto the appropriate people...
Some of those buildings that you have mentioned don't exist yet and that is why they are so high...

Even then these are building that are located with in the base and should be used or it is a wasted space. I have had plenty of RSS that I would like to share with my alliance but I'm unable to cuz there isn't anything setup to do so....

fixing every bug, nah
you don't really want that 😃
some bugs currently present are beneficial if applied correctly
@fluid hemlock as the others mentioned, and lemme go into detail on this, the current levelcap is 39, which means, its the highest level you can currently achieve
all buildings marked as level 50 are WIP
when finished, their accessibility level will be lowered to something more logic
what influence the building levels will have, is also not known yet
since it is alliance related, I guess it might become available at level 10 or 15

Yes this I have seen n understand
cold kite
for now, they are indeed a waste of space, agreed on that
personally,I would like to see nonfunctional stuff gone from the game
like armada's, the delete button in battle reports and other stuff
non-functional buildings as well
as they only confuse
@drowsy spindle scopely has it's us headquarters in LA yes, but the rest is in Barcelona
fluid hemlock
N that is what I'm saying as well I like those building and think they will have great use but they should have been able to be accessed by now... as for armada I would like to see that go active but it seems that it was an idea but no real planning has gone into it... Scoply should start getting those build up n running for the sack of economy in game...

I can't disclose much

but I can tell you armada's is very actively being worked on

There should be away that all of that alliance can chat ingame

discord for now 😛
or any other tool of your preference like TeamSpeak etc
I think the memberlimit should be lifted and levels should only unlock the amount of helprequests

Yes that is what we r using now but with alliances that have 3 branches or more it would be beneficial to look into
I think that would be a good idea to

I think our server has one alliance with 10+ wings

We currently have about 150 members spread throu 3 branches would nice to have everyone under one roof

Scopely, how about completely overhauling the Alliance controls and information available. Give some ability or bonus for each level the Alliance gains instead of just more "helps" and a few more slots. Show activity log of clan mates, log of who comes in, leaves, name changes, etc... How about the ability to share resources between members. Auto recall toggle for when mines reach zero.

or higher ups in alliance: commodore, admiral have access to recall your ship . <@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> @fossil geyser
if they see on a 0 node or something
cold kite
stop reposting my idea's 😛
@dusky cape yes
@fossil geyser actually just get rid of member limits and just stick to help requests in leveling alliance would be my suggestion
@fossil geyser resource sharing is the idea behind Market
auto recall toggle is bad
I know you wanna protect your harvested resources, but by design and intention of this game, this is something you will have to watch manually
showing activity log of alliance players will most likely also not make it due to privacy concerns, as stupid as it might sound
nocturne lantern
I am finally of the conclusion I am going to stop playing this game actively and leave it in the background and see what occurs over the next few months. I have stopped spending which is never a good sign with my enthusiasm with a game and now the grind, bugs, etc just make you question why am I investing my time let alone money here.
It's so disappointing to see that a game with such potential is just alienating its audience, I appreciate the game is relatively new, and was acquired from a different developer... patience was given to this but improvement and progress is just too slow.
I think scope need to decide what they want this game to be, your diehard startrek fans are unhappy (I am not one) as the nature of this game doesn't reflect that vibe, your whale player base is becoming bored... WARNING big issue these players may dump down the big bucks, critical in early game phase but you offer them so little gamification passed a certain level, they need their rush and you either released too much progress early on or didn't get your butts into gear quick enough to open up progress passed 39. I would consider myself a moderate p2p ..... in any other game I have spent maybe 500-800 over x amount of time, I have spent in the thousands here and I'm bored, I can spend a reasonable amount but I am no mega whale, so I need a balance of incentive to spend and grind that feels like goals reach me in a reasonable time... also not there, and your f2p audience are great up to a point then the game becomes like wading through concrete, and you small spenders.. well good luck to them as the store past a certain point makes it nigh impossible to spend small.
I don't believe you can cater to everyone equally I also know as games become more established nerfs occur and it opens it up to different player styles, but 9 months in it feels almost everyone is reaching a wall of their own version.
Hell even if you wanna play what some people describe as farmville in space you can't as you take so long to address the fact the player base has moved forward and number of g3 nodes aren't sufficient to what they were 6 months ago. Your PVP type players are for the most part bored, PVE offers little excitement same daily grind or impossible matched hostile bosses.
It doesn't have to be this way you show moments where you get it, some events have been great but you feel we deserve these special treats once every 2 months, and even then you strip away at them until people hate something you previously did well.
Communication is just so dire it is crazy.. look all products, solutions have teething pains and problems, but you keep customers in the loop, and hey here is a crazy idea address a problem before they do and you get respect and some time bought for patience.
It should have been great and improvements will come but I personally think you missed the boat here, so many good active players who all invested more in this game then others they have played have just gone out of boredom, frustration, and being disillusioned and said enough is enough,
waste of potential
But at the end of the day that is just my opinion, because we all know
'It's all working as intended'😁 🖖

We should have an arena w ladder style rankings based on our ship and officer load out.
Can be 1v1 but eventually be expanded for 2v2 and 3v3 even.

But would make it fun, and prolly be active since people can try and fail at pvp w out losing face which I guess is important to people

Why is it possible for bigger players to go on the rampage against smaller players for some misconceived notion of revenge or to get back at somebody who has upset them? Why is it always me on the receiving end of this? Can’t you limit in some way how many people that they can randomly attack before they have to provide you with at least some kind of reason?? Or perhaps you think it’s right that big adults can just keep on turning up and beating up your children?? Surely you’d want answers if this was happening or you would want to eliminate it??

Spend more $$$ to upgrade yourself for revenge, @autumn laurel
autumn laurel
@rugged island, thanks for your suggestion, but I have learned my lesson about spending any money in this game. It gets stolen by the same bigger players and Scopely don’t provide so much as a 5 minute shield to protect it with. I also have a very limited budget, so I can’t afford to have it stolen. I’m also restricted on time in game too. The time it would take to search system after system isn’t available. So therefore revenge isn’t possible either, and is often just a precursor to their revenge against you for your revenge against them. The only winner is Scopely... they take the 💰 but it’s automated... so the money you spend comes down to an I in the £50 column - and you get a few extra photons for your trouble. Progress - but not in any real sense. 🖖🏻

Looking at the imbalance of the leaderboards, I realize base raids need some adjustment. There need to be cooldowns put in place.
- a cooldown for moving your base. This should only be able to happen once every hour or so. Moving your base next to someone to speed up raiding then bug out and on to the next is just unsporting.
- cooldown between re targeting the same enemy with the same ship. I should not be able to sit there and keep hitting the same base with the same ship over and over and over...
- small one but fix the k/d on base hits. One round of having my base raided shouldn’t drop my k/d by .2.
The speed at which you can loose resources and time by having someone hit your base is uncanny, and very disheartening. Many of my players are dejected after a raid and I’m sure it leads to many players quitting, many arguments, many frustrated players. Limiting the damage a player can do to another is key to morale in this game, and reducing the unsportsmanlike conduct will help keep players in the game and spending money.
As I’ve heard many people say: what’s the point in spending money on this game when someone is just going to raid you and steal it all away.

Could you please do something about the refinery function? Could you please standardize its function? I am level 29, trying to get to 30 and I need 130 more uncommon ore.
I have not gotten an uncommon result in 3 days. This is ridiculous. It should take only a few days to get what you need, not weeks.
Let's not get started on the starship upgrades...
buying packs, I would need to dump $400 to get 1 tier for my Bortas. Ridiculous.
Because it is clear that it will take me months waiting for the refinery.
I would like to upgrade so I can actually finish the missions in my log. I cannot reach the warp range needed and the power of the bosses are way out of my range right now.
All being held back by the poor design and functioning of the refinery. The "bonus" you grant us every once in a while is nowhere near enough either.

Agreed with the level gap issue. I'm 26 I can't hit 20 but 39 can hit me. Doesn't seem reasonable.
⚔ Being able to identify other alliances as allies so that their colour was different would be excellent. Many groups have more than one alliance not to mention agreements. By identifying those groups visually you'd prevent friendly fire. And to take it one step further if the adms of both groups can select permits between that would be amazing. IE. Can hit ships not bases, Can't hit anything etc.

Add to what has been said many times - More lvl 3 nodes. When there's no mining event taking place and yet all the lvl 3 nodes are occupied that shows there is a shortage. Plenty of empty trit, steel and lvl 2 nodes, even the odd dil node.

There are staff members part of this Discord that explicitly do not have a role and monitor various channels.
How frequent that is and what is done with the information, I don't know - but I've had multiple requests in the past of a developer to engage in a conversation with a user that posted something in #👾-bug-reporting for example.
Since it's their bread to ensure as many people are as happy as possible, I would think it'd be in their best interest to log ideas and suggestions as well.
That said, we Moderators monitor every channel and frequently provide summarized rapports or at times, even forward excellent ideas straight away.

There should be a way to give a challenge to somebody for a 3 on 3 battle but you have to be at the same level and the losses has to pay the winner 500k of ore gas or crystal or 1m d ,p or t the winner can pick which one of the 6 res he wants
NO OTHER ALLIANCE MEMBER CAN INTERFERE WITH THE CHALLENGE
brave dome
@wild ridge whats the highest a lvl 24 base can be? Maybe 800k with 3 maxed ships. More likely it will be closer to 400k. Lvl 32 faction ships start out at 300k. Add crew bonuses and it is a guaranteed 1 hit.
If you have a maxed out station and researches an average player should not be able to 1 hit you. If you are going to impose hit ranges use that as a standard.

How about working on the Market? This game has progressed to the point that on our server, new players are minimum and time of players level 25 and above, being a level 20 myself, it is taking forever and a week just to get the materials needed for upgrading.

<@&509691205798592532> Here is a suggestion which probably has already been presented by someone else. Would it be possible to have all three factions daily events?
Right now I'm at +1.4M Federation reputation, -520K Romulan reputation and the Klingons simply hate me. 😜
I would like to be able to increase my Romulan reputation and reach the positive zone. But that is almost impossible for me now. I would have to skip the Federation daily tasks, do only Romulan missions, and grind a lot of Federation hostiles. Even so it would take me months, maybe a year, to reach the positive level of Romulan reputation.
But, if I would be able to do the Romulan daily event, I would have a chance. It would be just awesome if it would be possible to have all the faction related daily tasks and I could simply choose which one of them to perform. But lets start simple and move to complex things afterwards.
What do you think?
tall sedge
you can do that, no problem. just earn 10,000,500 faction rep in a faction and it will lock. then make the next positive, etc. if you are dual faction this is another strategy, but same goal, just two locked then go back and make the third positive....

Go to Noakyn and start grinding traders mostly and explorers when there aren't any more traders 😃
put cdt. Uhura as captain with Chen and cdt. Kirk
you should be able to kill 50+ in one go I think
and do any romulan missions you can find
jovial canyon
With Spock and Bones on the bridge, and Kirk as captain I can grind at most 10 level 31 Federation traders in one run. Maybe 15 if I'm lucky. After that it's repair time.
And right now bases with level 21+ that have anything to loot aren't exactly easy to find.

I would like to see "Bribes" add that will restore your faction reputation back to exactly neutral, no more, no less.
Given the nature of this item it would need to be a paid item, and quite expensive to stop them being abused, with maybe a 7 days cool down been uses..
You should never be in a position that you cannot get back to at least neutral reputation without months and months of mindless grinding.

depends on how many months you spent grinding in the opposite direction

Refinery Overdrive Tokens
Available to purchase in store, the token provides you with a 2 day bonus refinery but at a time of your choosing rather than in the middle of a mining event.
A 14 day cool down between uses.

Quantum Slip Stream Drive
Accepted a mission with a system that is a little too far for your current ships? Activate your QSSD and receive a +10 to all ship warp drives for 8 hours.
Be warned any ship outside its natural warp range will automatically return to base when the QSSD timer expires. 24 hour cool down between uses.

The hitting gap for players is too high, a level 23 player should not be being hit by a level 33 player. This should be addressed and the +/- 5 should be applied to every level.

I don't like the way the lower level players can attack higher-level players without any recourse. When you attack a higher level player you should lose your invulnerability two attacks for a. Of time. that would prevent lower-level players from staying at low levels so they can't be attacked.

The new client added a change to the camera focus when attacking other ships. Now when you attack a ship, focus jumps back to your own ship while in travel. If I was in hostile faction space, this might be a good idea, to watch out for Klingon Fighters for example. But in most cases, I'll want to watch the target ship to see if someone else takes it out before I get there so I can quickly choose a new target. Also, it is more likely my next target will be near the current one so keeping the focus in that area makes more sense. I think the focus should be set on the target ship if not under a hostile threat (red warning banner) otherwise, on own ship.
young ferry
YES! What @silver grotto said.👆
Besides, if I ever want to shift focus back to my Ship, I can tap the Locate button. Not as easy to re-locate the hostile that you are attacking. And all the scrolling back and forth was giving me a headache.

@cedar basalt you lost crap load of rss because you forgot to shield/didn't defend your base?
tranquil shale
There needs to be a set lower/higher cap bubble per level. The current way things are done definitely benefit the big money players. To allow a level 33 to smash a level 23, yet tell the 23 they are only allowed to hit down to a lvl 20 is so far skewed! Allowing a level 33 to hit a low level 20 is akin to allowing a pit bull to fight a Yorkshire Terrier.There is absolutely NO chance the 20 stands any chance, no matter how well they are researched. The poor 20 level doesn't even have access to ships that could maybe even scratch the pain of the ones coming in. At least allow some semblance of parity and fairness.
mental mantle
The ability to repair multiple ships at once
vocal sandal
@tranquil shale quite honestly what's the difference? even a lvl24 with a good Kumari can easily one-shot a lvl23 base
the changes benefit the (very) low level players as they now have less to worry about, previously at 26 I could one-shot a 19 with my horizon, ships in the base or not, now that's no longer an option 😄

The high level players hitting the low level players is why people quit and quit spending money or won't spend money.

With the increased issue of level 9s and 14s getting to grade 3 nodes and sitting on them long past 0 how about looking into these options?
- Not allowing them to mine those nodes unless they are able to participate in pvp
- Add a function that if no activity is made on a 0 node by the player after 1 minute, the ship auto recalls (or blows up...for fun)
Could also look into adding a "Are you there?" popup for 0 nodes and over protected limits.

My issue-suggestion:
Base raiding for surveys is both too hard and too easy. Without a financially supported ship hitting a cracked base +3 or 4 levels is many times impossible at 25-30, but horizons with 400k can one shot a 500k base like it's a paper bag.
What about giving surveys a +2 combat advantage on cracked bases
And to balance,
A -2 advantage against turrets
This would also put fear in the "virtually unhittable" bases once cracked

I would say that there are no where near enough 3* ore nodes in romulan space and neutral space. Being a lowly lvl 22 who is ftp...i can not take away any nodes from the bigger players who seem to live on those few nodes.

You have not been trying to gain 300,000 rep for the past 6 months. There are nodes in romulan space that have vanished leaving even fewer nodes to mine 3* ore. So frustrating! 'Nuff Said!

@swift coral you can gain rep rather quickly by killing ships, especially trading ships, of either of the other two factions. If you're talking about actually earning the tokens then yes that does suck. And most people agree g3 mining is terrible.

or just swap officers where ever the ship is. like a transporter
muted mortar
Top 4, also auto-boot miners from zero nodes. would solve a huge number of player conflicts and complaints.
@cold kite You nailed a very large problem there. what's the point of having an alert if its completely useless due to players being able to bypass it? Virtually every player learned early on: flashing ship icon? warp away!, base attack alert? put up a shield! That quickly devolved into players saying "screw these alerts, I want to cause some grief!" and sailing right up next to miners and bases before hitting attack so that there was no time to react to it.
The alerts were put there to allow us to react, there needs to be changes made so that we are given the time to do so. A minimum attack radius would be good, a 3 second delay on player attacks would also be good.
Otherwise remove the warnings all together. At present all attack warnings are equivalent to your fire alarm going off 5 minutes after the fire has reduced your house to a pile of smouldering ash.
tall sedge
@cold kite does it make sense at all that earning ship xp ought to count as spending it? collecting ship xp is hard, spending it for events vs earning it as you engage in battle seems like I'm earning and spending .. but events only count it as spending if we upgrade and click the button to move xp items into making the ship level up one more level
@muted mortar I wouldn't say alerts are 5min delay, but the equivalent of fire alarms indeed, not crystal balls that predict an attack 5min in advance
I hate that i got no warning my base was attacked the other day, other than a notice i had never seen before about shields being deployed
muted mortar
@cold kite the 5 min delay was just an exaggerated example based on when many people receive the actual alerts when they are not in game. Using the fire alarm analogy however, it's supposed to alert you when there's smoke, BEFORE the catastrophic fire begins so you have time to react and evacuate, or find a way to stop whatever is smoking from burning. I'd consider that something of a prediction. See where i'm going with this?
cold kite
@muted mortar I have auto nudge from depleted/cargo full on my tracker for quite a while and suggested it to the devs
@muted mortar they liked it, but are not putting it high on the priority list, understandable

I'm not surprised, they prefer to work on flashy graphics rather than functionality.

For the most part i've just turned alerts off because they are completely useless. I'm either ingame and paying attention to whats going on, or i don't get the alerts until hours, sometimes days after something has happened. If my miner goes zero, I expect it to get hit, if i really want to keep it safe I set a timer because i can't rely on alerts, and even if they work, by the time you log in someones probably already hit it.

I'm sure we're all looking forward to the ads that will inevitably show up in push.

@muted mortar I originally turned it off as well but recently I turned it back on and it's extremely useful

even the 0 node ones although I try not to rely on them and have timers instead

timers are so much better cuz you can set it to 5 minutes BEFORE the node zeroes, instead waiting until it's empty to get the alert.
peace shields get a 10 minute alert, but not mining nodes.

After participating in my fourth memorial of a player who has passed, I think I would be a nice nod of appreciation to your player membership to create a system when the stations of those no longer with us can be moved, by request only. A memorial of sorts to honor them. Disable this generators or if that’s to complex maybe make the system a non-combat zone.

The mechanism for how ten minute shields deploy is completely unintuitive. Since there is scant documentation for anything here how would anyone guess the ten minute shields work in any other way that just “you get hit and it deploys”? We need much better documentation for how features like this work.
muted mortar
This is not true AT ALL! It's common practice for people to use fortunates against bases to force their 10 minute shields to deploy. Fortunates do precisely ZERO damage to any base because the do not survive the first shot from a defense turret.

@muted mortar how much damage does the fortunate receive? I’d like to see the battle log - eg separatist bosses receive a lot more damage than a lvl 17 separatists

What you think about make alow repair more then only one ship in same time. That can be changed by lvls in low lvl only one ship when research later it alow you repair 2 or even more ships.

It would be nice if Scopely took threats and harrassment, between players, seriously. They should be asking the recipients to provide more information about about what's going on, in order to get to the bottom of it, instead of the usual response of, "We've forwarded this to our team." At least have someone follow up on the issues. I like this game, but I can't count the number of times I've received vulgar death threats and sexual innuendos via private messages, and then reporting them only to basically be told "tough luck". I'm playing this game for fun, not to get laid or horribly harrassed and stalked. I get that there's going to be trash talking, but there's a really big difference between that and what I just mentioned. Oh, and, please, give us a "cancel" option or an "Are you sure" message when we tap "recall." Thanks.

I would like all systems to be set to a lvl 1 system (keep warp distance and time). Alliances could occupy systems and work on construction projects. This could be anything from resources, to defense torrents located throughout the system, sensor arrays to spy on enemies (even through station shields); to massive construction projects such as warp catapults, alliance r&d, etc. Alliance could level these systems to gain access to new projects. Since these are alliance projects, they would be a massive undertaking requiring a lot of time and resources. This would make warfare more interesting and could even spark some new economic benefits to the alliance: we charge 100k tritanium to use our warp catapults. There could be in app purchases for faster completion (separate from station speed-ups) and more packs to buy the resources needed.

@cinder helm Thank you. I will have to give that a try next time. The sexual innuendos have been worse since I started my own alliance, yesterday. It's like being an all you can eat buffet for weirdos, lol.

war between alliances: alliance leader/commodore can elect to go to war. the game matches them up with another alliance equal in alliance level or strength (or choose a specific alliance)and they fight for 24 hours (or however long) points are awarded for killing opponents ships, knocking them off mines, raiding their bases. you can also get points for mining. alliance with the most points at the end of the war wins.
rewards can be either scopely given, or each alliance must create a war chest before going to war. then the reward, if you win, is the opponents war chest divided among the winning alliance players
tall sedge
@barren lynx I think the ability to tag players or alliances arbitrarily and then use the tag system to declare war on a tag would be benificial. the scopely ui could make the opposition show up as neon orange or something obvious so hitting the wrong player in a war is mostly avoided. having a war chest could be fun, maybe requiring a formal scopely tag assisted war requiring a war chest to be created would be fun. Not all wars are declared with the receipent's desires, so somehow that would need to be taken into account.
barren lynx
right, both alliances need to accept
or if the war opponents are scopely chosen then both alliances have to enter the war to see who gets chosen to fight them

I truly wish the redone battle report would list coords same way as in chat. instead of a locator button the actual text [Opla(locator icon) X:-5 Y:10] or whatever

Put a timer in game counting down to maintenance downtime, so all players would get the info regardless of their timezone. It just reads a counter from the server, can't be too hard and saves us doing timezone calculations 😁
The event timer for your server region in #⭐-official-announcements also takes the guess work out of the equation 😉
silver grotto
To help minimize and/or deter mine sweeping, how about we either impose a permit fee to hit ships while mining (set by the attacking ships ops level) or require a 2 minute cool down after hitting a mining ship before you can hit another. The cooldown or fee would only apply when hitting the attack button and not when the combat actually takes place, so if you engage the attack before they duck onto the mine, there will be no penalty or cool down.
To fit better into a storyline, you might just impose a fee anytime one puts a ship on a mine, even if swapping ships. This way, players are encouraged to use ships with larger cargo capacities, only mine when they need to, and if they pay the fee to hit another miner, half that fee paid goes to the other player (provided the node isn't already zeroed).
sullen marten
@silver grotto you realize this is a war game. not a mining game, right?
muted mortar
@heady flame it doesn't matter how much damage the fortunate takes. According to scopely the shield only activates if the base takes MORE damage than the ship. Since the ship gets completely destroyed and the base takes ZERO damage, by their description the shield should not activate....but it DOES.

Leveling up has the drawback of leaving a lot of resources and ships unused. As in real life players should be able to give this stuff away even for a little gain and maybe having the chance to get a long-awaited "something" from the black market ...Yes. A black market section could be very enjoing and useful at the same time, a place we can exchange unused or looted stuff with needed or rare materials or resources.
nocturne lantern
Perhaps introduce some unique costs... for black market dealings in faction-related goods or ships --- perhaps it brings in a cost to be paid by both parties in either very small faction credits, rep or both.
opal wave
Any possibility of introducing the Borg to the game?
nocturne lantern
@opal wave This is all speculation but look closely at the Galaxy Research logo on the new packs.... there's some borg-like inspiration there. Perhaps the next story line is that due to the galaxy research, it will now attract some Borg attention. There's some perfectly open space to the west of Fed Space that'd fit the bill. It'd be easy to do an augment or swarm like set of systems and call it Borg space (more no-shield all-hull big damage reds but perhaps a nice twist is that it is empty space except that they're only hostile red spawns.)
IMHO, it'd be good fun to fight Borg red hostiles that ignore shields 100% after Round 1 (as if they adapted). And perhaps create some expensive new Borg drone Rare officer that has an officer skill to ignore more shields the longer the battle rounds progress (say, +10% shield ignored, so after round 10, it's 100% ignore shields).
...maybe this plays well with the whole time-travel future AI red angel stuff in Discovery.

I know I like to glance at it when using my fighters on other things so I don't have to go into other screens to remember my over protection limit versus what i already have in the cargo hold after I've refreshed a node a few times
frosty agate
There have never been over limit indicators.

then what is the little white coloring that starts filling up down there where i circled when it nears the default over protection limit?
i just started this node with a fresh ship so i will have to wait to get another ss to show the differnce
tall sedge
it would be awesome if one could simply hit cancel during the warp spoolup time, that shouldn't require much coding ... ?
nimble frigate
@fickle osprey that white coloring you are referring to indicates how much of your ships total cargo capacity is used. It will continue filling in the circle until you have reached max cargo cap. Nothing to do with protected amounts.
Although a PC indicator would be a nice feature.
fickle osprey
that makes sense, although i had thought the blue ring around the insides was the cargo capacity. lol. would help a lot of players to know what those indicators meant.

Guys, I suggested to have the ability introduced to trade unused ships, much more useful solution rather than have 20+ ships unused and untiered sitting in the hangar. Sometimes we all could do with extra resources. They can either be traded on a central location, or market/trading posts and maybe even between rival alliances to barter. Just putting it out there

I can't understand how much I lost in the battle - in total amount and in percents
so I can't calculate how much NPC I can kill by one ship
bitter parcel
Battle reports baffle me at the best of times 😂
worthy mirage
Another problem with combat reports is that the health bar in them is different from the health bar in the game. In the game, the scale is made as in other games - i.e. when there is little health, it decreases more slowly, so that it seems to the player that he is immortal))

@sour lava Well, I beg to differ here. In the prime universe, Borg also exist in the past, recall ST First Contact and ST Enterprise where future Borg exist in both the past 21st century and 22nd century, respectively. A simple retcon explanation for Borg in the Kelvin universe, supported by ST Discovery's abuse of AI, Red Angel, Future Time Travel, Spore Drive, etc., would be simple technobabble exercise. Add a dash of non-dairy creamer and microwaves and voila.... Borg event in Kelvin timeline.
crisp grove
What about an "Expand the Federation" event? Where a specific crew complement on a specific ship is required to make first contact with new worlds. Could work under the same structure as current missions but instead of donating resources or fighting a hostile it ends with a specific crew returning on a specific ship to sign a charter. Or maybe tier rewards based crew rarity? All epic, all common, etc. Or one of each. Lots of possible combos.
queen sun
I made a suggestion through the in-game contact form that I think would be helpful. Because servers are putting together rules of engagement just so we can perform certain operations in peace, one very simple change would help a lot without necessarily constraining the game experience.
I proposed that Scopely implement a change so that if a player has a survey/mining ship on a node, that ship is immune from PvP attacks until the player has achieved their daily limit, as long as the node is not exhausted. So let's say Joe is mining a gas node and needs 17k to reach dailies. It doesn't matter if he's over his protected cargo or not. He can stay on that node immune from PvP attacks until the node goes to zero (at which time he could be attacked), or until he hits 17k in gas (at which time he could be attacked). There's already code in place to check a target mining ship's level, so it would just require a little change to that logic.
nocturne lantern
If it would be implemented like that the whole protected cargo thing wouldn't work. A maxed out envoy with the right officers already has a 20k protected cargo (without new researches). The whole thing about protected cargo is that no matter what happens, when you get attacked you'll keep the material or rss that's protected.. make it so that you can't be attacked when under the protected cargo limit or when the node is zero. A lvl 20 doesn't have to mine 15k (consort level) of any material for daily...
native wadi
We accidentally hit wrap and if you guys can keep any cancel option will be great
muted mortar
@fickle osprey @nimble frigate the white line is the hull health of your ship. By what you circled It looks like you are referring to the blue line that fills up around the circle. That is the countdown timer to when the node is depleted, when the circle is full, the mine is depleted. There's no indicator for cargo protection limit, only the 3 boxes showing cargo hold is completely full (which never happens on miners outside of base raiding)
rancid creek
I am NOT digging the new camera centering back on your ship when you hit Attack. It is dizzying. Can you switch it back to the way it used to be?
ocean wadi
@rancid creek <@&509690795536941056> They need to revert the attack graphics back to the default. They new graphics are really messing up game play and making it hard to attack or defend.
fickle osprey
@muted mortar yeah, Yort1974 explained what i was talking about. Still wouldn't be hard for the devs and graphics team to have that cargo indicator to turn red once it hits the OP limit.
muted mortar
@fickle osprey I think it's problematic due to OP limit being modified by so many things, ship tier, officers, etc.
I'd like to see an alert for that too, but I don't think it's going to happen. mining is tough enough already, roe makes it a little tougher. zero nodes get an alert so they often refresh unless sleeping which means you gotta stay up late at night. OP is the only real guarantee of getting a node cuz no one knows when that'll happen unless they do the math and set a timer (guilty).

Perhaps SURVEY ships can also use their mining laser as a defensive weapon but only when defending. Even if it's not highly effective (and weak), I can't imagine any defending captain not trying to use everything at their disposal... heck... "Fire everything!" -Nero, SURVEY ship Captain.

May or may not have been suggested, have the ships crew members earn experience like the ship from combat. Bridge crew at least if not the whole crew.
main bolt
There are some problems with bases. How can they move across the galaxy instantly? I understand you don’t want a base slot to be contested by 2 players, but make the move instant but add a cooldown before any ships can be moved or any actions taken and maybe add some kind of graphic to illustrate this. Also I would like to see a cooldown period between base relocations. Like an hour or so. We can call it a recharge period. Maybe add some research that could help with that?
Base moves being instant a) defy logic - ships take a LONG time to warp, a base should take longer b) allow for unsportsmanlike conduct with base raids c) are used as an exploit to overcome ship warp limitations.
I would not be opposed to seeing base speed vary depending on resources in the base. More resources being stored means more mass, which takes more energy to accelerate, therefore slower.
Tho that may over complicate things.

silver grotto
Originally filed as a bug reported, moved here because it was deleted. The Botany Bay provides a huge bonus to data mining rate, but the research provided in the new Galaxy tab provides only a tiny rate bump. Since boost percentages are added, the tiny rate bump that the research provides is very insignificant compared to the bonus already provided by the ship. The rate doesn't increase much for the amount of resources spent on the research.
With this research, I would be mining at 5815% rather than 5800%

I know it's iffy having the borg in this timeline but come on let have a borg system with them invading random mining systems and if we can't push them back they start taking over the mining nodes then borg ships start patrolling the area attacking on site if you get too close. Missions could include a new ship or upgrades to existing ships, new officers or give certain officers the ability to earn borg xp from encounters with them.

Every time I look on this page I see someone recommend a way to break down/sell old ships, suggesting a way to overlap shields, etc. I also very rarely see comments on these (as they have been suggested a million times).

Each level gives you a one time benefit like uncommon Chrystalls and a boost like plus in damage dealt to hostiles.
These goals could come in various forms and it would add some depth to the game and give you a long term incentive.

@young oyster It wasn't accurate. It was estimating too low which made it impossible for players to do some upgrades, quite bad if you had spent Latinum or Tokens. This over-estimation isn't ideal either granted but the actual cost has always remained the same.

ok cheers for the reply, just not great having the left over rss in your base when trying to manage shields.

And it does make most sense as far as expanding the Galaxy, big chunk of space to left of Fed is cardassian space which also opens new faction and ships potentially

You go over from start to finish, Cardassians and Bajorans had most screen time and fleshing out

in the kelvin timeline, there is no more expanse
archer destroyed the spheres causing the slowdown effects in the delphi expanse
so by the time the NCC1701 arrived, there could be no delphic expanse with the gravimetrical distortions

which would place this khan in the version as he was during the eugenic wars

Repair at alliance member's bases. Still use your own rss, but dock at a friend's place for a bit.
brave dome
It would be nice if the event tab was seperated in 3 tabs faction events/regular daily events/ special events
Or a 4th tab all events
main bolt
@visual ledge I like the idea of repair at ally base, at least in theory. What about if that base is attacked? For that matter someone could park their combat ship at an allies base and just act as protection. Not saying it would be a bad thing, but it could be very complicated.
nocturne lantern
lots of other games do it, like a guild hall
main bolt
I see possible problems with different level players parking at a base. Let’s say a lvl 30 parks at a lvl 20 base. Now a level 18 player would be capable of attacking the base but not the ship docked at it.
Or change that around - a level 5 player parks at a level 20 base. Now you have a player that cannot yet enter combat at a base that can.
How do you calculate repair speeds? Based off of ship player’s research and building levels or the base owner’s repair speeds?
For that matter, it would make sense if there was some kind of penalty for repairing at someone else’s base. A lower priority, transit time for rss, etc.
It’s a good idea at first blush but there are LOTS of variables and mechanics to work out. Again, definitely some merits and it is doable...
If implemented I would like to see some benefit for the player hosting the repair. Some kind of fee paid to the player for renting a dock.
Could be interesting.
Another possible hiccup - what if a miner full of cargo docks at another players base. Does that cargo go to the base? Does it stay on the ship? Does it go to the ship’s home base? If it stays on the ship, what happens if base is attacked, does it get rewarded to the attacking player?
Now we have a scenario where you are at a friends base and it is attacked and you lose your cargo. Why didn’t that player shield? Now their inaction cost you rss.
visual ledge
What if parking at a base only enabled repair, but didn't treat it as part of that base?
main bolt
I think long before we would dive down this rabbit hole there are other issues to address. Like making base relocation not instantaneous. How can a base travel faster than a ship? How is it fair that someone pops their base next to yours, sends their ships to empty your base, then disappears to the opposite side of the galaxy faster than your ship can move from one system to a neighboring system?
visual ledge
game logic only sees that the conditions for repair are me, hides/disables the ship, starts repair, disabled ally's base from warping.
main bolt
Ok, so you are trying to relocate your base and your ally dock his ship for repairs and now you are stuck there for 2 hours while he repairs his Kumari?
It’s all doable but it is a complicated matter to address because now game metrics have to account for both players actions for an extended time.

I'm. Ot much of a discord poster, so I apologize if this has been addressed before. Reward and events are pigeon hold based on thier level.

Could we have options to collect equal or lesser parts, border to advance ships we want? Or at least trade down to get what I want? You can do it!

@young oyster in our server people are starting to realize that vaults are there for a reason, and try to kekep rss below it .. it is hard to find an unshieded base with that motherload you need to upgrade 4 ships worth of tri, for example. As an effect, people will tae sips of your base to get more rss than the damage they incur. Horizon is nice to do this with. Just beware, generator storage is something such sips can drain even if all your rss is below vault. So you can still be a target even if under vault due to generator storage not being protected by vaults.

Why not introduce ship parts for each ship killed:
So ship -level 15 (1 star)
Level 16-22 (2 star)
Level 22+ (3 star parts)
The higher the level the more parts
heady flame
Have some mining nodes infected by tribbles that fill your cargo instead of rss/materials
If you get attacked on it the attacker also gets infected by tribbles
And if you recall the ship, your station gets infected.
The only cure is to get a Klingon decontamination team

lyric plover
@main bolt @heady flame or, destroy the ship
main bolt
I suggested tribbles a LONG time ago.
And as such I like the idea.
I have a suggestion for base looting. I think it should be a little more like mining. You attack the base to kill the defenses, then park a ship on the base. The rss are loaded over time as your boarding crew bring resources into your ship. Rates are much faster than mining but not instant. The ship doing the looting would be able to get a full hold. Loading rates are based on type of ship, crew, research, etc.
This would slow down looting a bit and make it more realistic, but also make it more involved with having proper ships, crew, and so on. There could be defensive research (security crew?) that could slow down raiding crews. If the base puts up shields the raiding ship would be jettisoned.
lyric plover
@main bolt make raiding a fat base take 2 years that way
main bolt
I also think this would reduce the “vultures” that wait for someone to crack a base and then start looting.
I am thinking rates would be comparable to data mining rates, or higher.
Takes a few mins to fill a cargo hold
I mean we are talking resources that have been processed, theoretically loaded into bins or something. They would be easier to load than when they are being mined.
And raiding a fat base SHOULD take pretty long.
lyric plover
Your suggestion kills the game, raiding is the only way people like me can progress, plus have you filled a horizon before?

Advanced Shipyard: can recycle old starships into special components that are used to upgrade faction ships to higher star rating vesels.
example: to upgrade a Boras to Ktinga you would need say 500 engine components, 1000 energy weapon 1500 kenetic and 500 cargo or some such.
glossy socket
also we need new unique PVE content thats NOT just more leaderboard event.
we need real time coop missions that require the participation a group of players like a squadron of 5 or 7 players attacking in a group a big PVE target.
example:
you generate a space monster at a random independent sector and essue a general alert on the galactic map.
players then come together with the lead player initiating an attack order on the creature. that will open a squaron request icon
on the left of the HUD alliance wide and 5 first players to except will send a ship of their choosing to be attached to the squadron.
normal travel times apply.
when all the ships reach the lead the squadron is set and the attack begins. alliances then compete in real time to kill the monster or do the most dmg for prises etc..

Suggestion... Make buildings in a base need 2 star mats to upgrade and ships use 3 star. This will mean the higher level players who have loads of 2 star sitting there not being used will need to use it as well. And will make the 2 star in packs worth it as well. @austere sand @vast halo

I am sure this has been brought up before, but can we scale up the packs a bit, I'm wasting a 100 bucks per shot and not even getting close to enough uncommon or rare to upgrade my ships. Has anyone as Scopely thought about micro transactions? it would help the players a lot.
worthy sun
I am new to this as my first computer/console system was TRS-80 so online games is new to me. The idea I have would make it harder but more fair and just for all players. Convert the gas mines in to a solar system wide nebula, just park the ship and collect. Place leveled gas 0 being no gas, 10 (in the center). The closer to the renter the more damage the gas does to the ship. Use scan hostiles (100 times per level) to make so your ship receives no damage. The 100 per level meaning per level of gas you want to go to. Each scanned hostile carries gas and upon scan comes to attack you.

How about a function where you can convert speed ups into different speed ups? For example, let's say that you have 50 minutes left on an upgrade or a repair, but you only have a 1 hour speed up. If you use that, then the 5 minutes that are left over from the 1 hr speed up will turn into a 5 minute speed up. That way, nothing goes to waste.

In the log of the battle ships respond to the attack in the following order: the ship in dock D, then B, then A, then C.
But on the log screen they are arranged in a different order: 1 - ship in dock C, 2 - A, 3 - D, 4 - B?
I think it would be logical to place them in the list of attack turns, i.e.: 1 - dock D, 2 - B, 3 - A, 4 -C.

Instead of only being allowed to do one research at a time, it would make more sense to do only 1 research task in each tab at the same time.

1: I would like to see a mock combat mode with alliance teammates. maybe derate the weapons on the ships by 90% . this allows testing of ships and crews for PvP purposes. No rewards, no change in stats.
there is canon to support this as well.
2: If weapons derating were implemented, then the hit down rules could be amended for grabbing nodes. I think anyone on a node should be attackable, regardless of level. If weapons are derated, then it would make it more fair for lower levels. Defenses for higher levels within the hit up brackets could be derated as well.
Increase the PvP action, puts more nodes in play.

Could you do a better job with Uncommon drop rates? They are ridiculously long waits for almost no increase. I need many hundreds of Uncommon rss and I get maybe 6 per week. So in 2-3 years I may be able to tier up my 2* ships.
This game is fast becoming massively boring. The required parts to build or upgrade should not take many many months. Clearly the availability, drop rates, or quantities are too high and need to be adjusted.

@hexed mountainly look into not continuing to increase the demand for G3 uncommon. Prime refine activated and doing max refine 4X every time still resulting in zero uncommon drops is a joke. Do you really expect that every player is going to buy all of the uncommon they need to do their upgrades? Maybe that would make sense if you fixed all of the bugs in the game. I don’t need to repeat what they are. You already know. You just refuse to fix anything that benefits your paying customers. If there’s no profit for you, then you don’t bother.

The refinery return ratio is crap. So let's do the math: U.S. refineries produced an average of about 20 gallons of motor gasoline and about of 11 gallons of ultralow sulfur distillate fuel oil from one 42-gallon barrel of crude oil, according to the Energy Information Administration. Many other petroleum products are refined from crude oil.Aug 31, 2017
That's a 31 gallon return on 42. Make the refinery more realistic. On my last batch I got 38 uncommon. I need 250 for one upgrade. And I need 4. And yes I know it's based on chance. I Know. Has nothing to do with the amount of UNC being dispersed when a player does hit UNC. The returns are ludicrous and makes the chance system even worse. Add UNC to the daily. I saw your little pack in the offer. 🤣 that only had 38 UNC. Worthless.
@paper frost👍
tall sedge
how about lets do the dice analogy? every batch is rolling a dice with N sides twice, N being the number of cards you have presented as a chance ...
now if the refinery had a basic guaranteed output of X rare X uncommon X common plus chance, that would be awesome
but until they change the concept of 'you roll the dice' you get a chance at the cards presented and even when you land on 'rare' you have such a low number it is slow to add up
I look forward to someone confirming that the galaxy extra batch research does as advertised
lyric plover
@tall sedge it's rolling a d&d die, rare has 1 number, X amount of uncommon has 3 number, and lowest amount has 5 numbers, everything else is common

How about the ability to allow alliances to join together in a pact that allows them to combine into another chat called pact. Limit the combined numbers of the alliances and allow a way to increase numbers by making contributions to the pact.
By combining in a pact, they also cannot attack each other.
tall sedge
that would imply the in game chat is valuable. given that at any moment I can loose connectivity, lose history, and valuable conversation is not something I'd like to expand. I go to discord if there are such needs.
the pact combination of not attacking would truly be a fun game aspect
it has been stated in the past that it would be really cool if an admiral could be permitted to flag other players or alliances as friend or foe so players in game would not have to busy themselves with checking lists that may or may not have been kept up to date outside the game
surreal ridge
In game mechanics to allow alliances to truly work together.
tall sedge
then again, if I can go on a tangent, admirals having the ability to see player activity logs would go a long way in resolving reports of player abuse (both false and truthful ones)
surreal ridge
The pact would have certain rules. I imagine there could be ways to tailor it like a non aggression pact or a treaty style.
Or even a way to do the opposite, an enemy designation to an alliance that all alliance members and pact members see (ie flag) the enemy as not friendly.
If I am traveling through the galaxy and see an enemy alliance ship in blinking red it would signify that they are at war with our alliance.
Mainly the pact is the idea I am suggesting and then the other items branch off from there.
I agree about the logs.

Our server is currently being attacked by the main 3 alliances. Top and most powerful. Mostly because of a bunch of people slandering each other. It is foolish because it lessons the world and destroys the desire to play. My suggestion is to make a system for each activity alliance in the top 200. Where the whole of their alliance could move . In this location stop there forward gained resources from generators. As a cost of their safety. The other things this new system would do is literally stop any other alliances from entering it. It would keep those who need safety safe but make it harder to grow. It wouldn't hurt to have a place like that.

if the CEO only knew that 3rd party support to enhance game play would increase the number of players enjoying the game, app specific url would be done in a heartbeat.

We need a “drop out of warp” command. If the ship hasn’t warped then the ship stops. If the ship has started warping then the ship stops at the next immediate star system whether or not it’s been explored. If there are no systems before the destination, then it will stop at it’s destination. There could be a repair cost for sudden “stops”.

you didn't see a Q&A a few months back .. they said 'when in warp, ship is nowhere, client is counting time till it appears in the destination' so it doesn't really do what the visuals would imply.

Rogue emkers can make some people quit. Thats much alike bullying.
There should be a feature available only fir alliance reaching a certain level, allowing to manage rules of engagement between alliances. Fir example an alliance could choose to not commit emk, therefore, no other player could emk them unless they are in an alliance at war with them.
War status between alliances could be declared by any alliance, but the alliance declaring war cannot change status to peace for 24h, for example. But, there would be power requirement fir the alliance that wants to declare war to at least have 50%, for example, of the power of targeted alliance. This to prevent rogue afker to finance its own alliance level just to declare war on anyone.
This would also allow to constantly declare war to any rogue emker so after be8ng stupid he could never be in peace...
Also, war status could turn to purple any ship or station that you can see in a system. For easy targetting

I think if you’ve spent about $200 on this game with about 2 months of grinding play, you should be able to fully max out all buildings, research, and ships at level 14. It’s so hard to get G2 uncommon resources even after refining more than 5 two batches and still get only commons.

Ftp should be able to hit 14 with all buildings and research maxed in 2 months without a problem and only moderate grinding. Ships are problematic due to refinery which is a major roadblock at all levels. Many of us have gone weeks without getting a single uncommon from any material.

You missed out on galaxy research. What you should have done is make a research vessel. This ship would have to travel to specific areas to research specific things. You could have made a whole side story. “A spatial anomaly has formed in the Orion system. Send a research vessel out to see how the unique particles coming from the anomaly could be used to develop faster warp travel”

Wouldn't be good idea to add the new groups of faction space people like blood and honour to fraction recruitment chest, or different faction chest to open,

The other benefit to a research vessel is that it would allow researching 2x things at once. Some research could require both lab research and field research, meaning it would tie up both at the same time, but other research could be done concurrently.

Ping bases?
suggestion: the game has three major focus: mining, pve and pvp. While optional, pvp is for many a primary motivator towards staying in the game. Pve is somewhat optional as well, but mining.. We all have to mine, then be frustrated from refining 5.000.000 batches in order to accumulate the uncommons needed to upgrade ships beyond 200k power.
Why not combine the game aspects? Add a chance of uncommon crystals in pve chests, give a small chance of gaining a base-pvp-chest from succesfull raids (full cargo or it will be exploited!). The chest could contain a few uncommon Ressources, but at no cost to the victim.
Thus would motivate players to take part in all aspects of the game, which is important. Especially now that parsteel, titanium and, to some extent, dilithium are so readily available through events.

Scanning, I believe, needs to be expanded. Right now, if a player is outside the attach range of your ship. Then you cannot see if they are OC or even get their name to send a message.
For that matter we cannot do that for our alliance members eather. I can get more information on a player not in my alliance than I can on one who is in my alliance.
I think that this needs to change.

There needs to be more ways to improve faction status once deemed hostile. Every level hits a wall where missions are undoable - for awhile- a long while. We should be able to improve status in other ways, or Scopely add more missions for factions at each level.
tall sedge
faction status is improved via dailies (faction and mining), event cards (reputation event), hitting any hostile not of the faction you want to improve .. are not enough?
cinder cliff
Dailies only can help you improve faction status of factions you are already friends with. I’m trying to improve status I’m a faction I’m not on good terms with - that’s a lot of ships to hit, but I guess I will have to grind it out!
tall sedge
the other trick is to not do dailies of factions that would put your grinding at a disadvantage. when I decided to go dual faction, -33k klingon seemed like forever, but one month later, with a few klingon missions, finally realizing to stop dailies for feds, they became positive .. at +500 you get the faction rep card in the event store at the next app restart, and you get dailies added the next daily reset
given an imbalance between the rep gained on dailies and event cards, I highly recommend you balance the two before you fully go for both, I did everything except the event card for feds, now feds and klingons are in balance

@vast halo I would like to suggest an idea that will make your business some monies and give us players a viable pack purchase option for those that cannot afford the $100 packs. Make a $20 pack with just 3* uncommon. For example, a $20 pack with "only" 3* uncommon crystal, ore or gas.
